Cornelia Strategy

Use Player Phase Strategies

This map has no refresher enemies, and multiple foes are close to each other. This is a great map for player phase strategies like Galeforce or Hit and Run.

Cornelia's Asclepius applies various penalties onto your units who are adjacent to other units; the most important of which is the Flash status. A player phase strategy does not care about this penalty and allows for easier clears.

Using units that can grant themselves additional actions, you can pick off an enemy and then retreat to safety. Ensure you have a unit that can defeat the Blue Manakete in one round, as she has Atk/Spd Bulwark 3 to prevent your units from advancing past her.

Ranged units and melee cavalry units can reach Blue Manakete right away, allowing you to defeat her on the first turn. A ranged cavalry unit can also reach her, the Sword Fighter, and the Thief through the right side on the first turn.

Ninja duo units like Ninja Corrin (F) and Ninja Laegjarn are perfect for this map, as they can defeat an enemy and use their Duo Skill to either retreat or attack again. Ninja Corrin (F) gets a special mention for being a cavalry tome unit, which can reach further with her longer threat range.

If you cannot defeat all the enemies on the first turn, bring a melee unit to block off the Axe Cavalry unit by standing in its path. He will not be able to go past your unit and the two walls covering him.

Tank Strategies are also viable

With the lack of powerful enemies and refresher units on this map, a tanking strategy is a great method to achieve victory. However, Cornelia's Asclepius will apply the Flash status if you do not position your units properly.

Ensure that none of your units are adjacent to each other in order to avoid receiving penalties. If using Savior skills, keep each unit 2 spaces away from each other to trigger Savior and avoid Asclepius's effects.

If you have Ascended Fjorm, we highly advise bringing her into this map. Her Nifl's Bite neutralizes the Flash status and defeats all the ranged enemies on this map upon retaliation.

Alternatively, if you have Elimine, bring her and keep her on the same column as Cornelia to apply 【False Start】 and prevent Asclepius from triggering.
